(AP) — A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of whoever shot an arrow into a cat in Omaha.

A man called animal control officers for help on Wednesday afternoon, saying he’d found the wounded cat in the yard of his east-central Omaha home.

The officers took the cat, which later underwent an operation to remove the arrow. The cat is recovering at the Nebraska Humane Society.

The society says it doesn’t know who owns the cat, which is described as a dark-colored, domestic long-haired neutered male that’s about a year old.

(AP) — A resentencing hearing has been delayed for a Nebraska inmate who killed his 12-year-old sister when he was 14.

The hearing had been set June 9 for Sydney Thieszen. He was convicted of murder in 1988 for the slaying at their home near Henderson on Sept. 17, 1987. Prosecutors said Thieszen killed his sister because he was afraid she would tell police he was running away from home.

In March a judge ruled that Thieszen was entitled to resentencing in accordance with a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juvenile killers are unconstitutional.

The hearing has been moved to Sept. 10 at the request of the defense attorney, who said he needed more time to prepare.

(AP) — Authorities say a 34-year-old Council Bluffs woman sought in Nebraska has been arrested after trying to write a bad check at a store.

Amy Jo Hockabout was arrested Tuesday night at a Menards store. Police say Menards security called to report that Hockabout was trying to buy $170 worth of merchandise. Council Bluffs police Sgt. David Dawson says Hockabout had 30 counterfeit checks and nine fake driver’s licenses with her.

Hockabout faces Iowa charges for forgery and falsifying public documents. Online court records don’t list the name of her attorney.

Nebraska court records say Hockabout is wanted in Omaha because she didn’t show up for sentencing in a forgery case.

(AP) — Two murals being painted on the rear outside wall of a coffeehouse in Hastings are serving as the final for a Hastings College art class.

One mural has a cornfield scene, and the other includes an urban skyline. They grace a wall of the Blue Moon Coffee Co. downtown.

The six artists are members of Steve Snell’s advanced painting class. He said Tuesday that the murals will take about a week to finish and will replace a test as the class final.

The paintings are the first college murals in downtown. Snell says he hopes there will be more from students in his future classes.

(AP) — Police are looking for three men caught on surveillance video stealing marijuana plants from a Denver grow house.

The men took 25 mature plants, estimated to be worth about $13,000, during the April 23 burglary at Chronic Therapy.

They are shown taking plant after plant. Then one of them notices a surveillance camera and tries to cover it with a towel. Another suspect then smashes it with a hammer.

Tipsters can remain anonymous and are eligible to get a reward up to $2,000.
